Turtle wax Black box

[walk_86]

Has anyone tried this on a black car? Reading reviews it seems good. I read about it on a detailing website so might be good. Any feedback will be appreciated

P. S Clive don't break my heart here. Lol. I will still be using the 2 bucket technique

I won't break your heart

Give it go, I'm sure with the right prep it will look great - the interesting thing will be the durability of the 'blend wax'.......

Regards,
Clive.

yeah. It has got good reviews. Its wether it is up to "scratch" with detailing or its justa run of the mill polisher. The price is only £20 and you get a few things for that, especially with it being turtle wax, im sure you cant go wrong. Takes for hours to do all of the car. Think i will just gamble and get it. thanks clive

So here's the steps I've gathered

1.degreas alloys
2.snow foam (I have cherry)
3.rinse
4.2 bucket method (any specific shampoo recommended?)
5.clay bar
6.dry with microfibre cloth?
7.apply my turtle wax black box via instructions
8.tyre shine.

Would you say that's about right. I previously used to just power wash and chamois. I want to do this right on the black.

I use Autoglym Shampoo with Mitt not spounge or brush

Invest in lots of microfibre cloths if you can

AJ07,
I notice you have the Karcher snow foam attachment in the picture, what do you think of it? i was just looking at buying a snow foam lance from ebay myself, but cant decide what to buy, this one is £20 delivered.

Darren this is great cos the bottle serves just the right dosage for the Ds3. The Ebay one is a little bigger than mine and seems to have an additional what looks like A regulator of some sort on it. Let us know how you get on with it

AJ07,
that's good to hear, the dial i think is for regulating how much foam is created i think and has a 0.6lit bottle, so think will give a go then, what foam liquid do you use? Do you think snow foaming is worth doing then?
just learning this stuff and building up my collection of bits n bobs like you have.

I've got the exact lance with a k2 karcher. Works an absolute treat. I bought cherry snow foam and is excellent. I can get 6 or 7 washes per full tub. I wouldn't hesitate to get it
